I don't know if you all saw this story. I thought it was funny. I'm posting it here. Way to go, Phil.
NEW YORK (AP) - Coach Phil Jackson said he deserved the reprimand he got from the NBA on Wednesday for making a sexual reference in a comment following the Los Angeles Lakers' loss in San Antonio.
The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory on Tuesday night, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters.
"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game, because there's so much penetration and kickouts," Jackson said. "It was one of those games."
"But in retrospect, it wasn't really funny," Jackson said before the Lakers played Houston on Wednesday night. "When you take it out of context, it wasn't funny. It was a poor attempt at humor and I deserved to be reprimanded by the NBA."
Still, Jackson couldn't resist making another joke as he apologized.
"If I've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or gays, I apologize," Jackson said.
Jackson thanked beat writers and other journalists who covered Tuesday's game for dismissing the comment as an innocent joke. He said several of them laughed when he said it.
The NBA did not.

I know a lot of horses that ware offended by this comment.
It looks like Phil has ben to a public relations seminar led by Michael Scott. This is something that looks like it came from an episode of the office.
That court reporter sure wasn't telling the joke right.
They hang off ma'lady's chest.
you expect to get screwed by your company, you don't expect to get screwed by your girlfriend.
